Mostly because they had switch guards, similar to ones I see in cockpit photos. Does this rocker not have a switch guard?
There's detail floating around the internet. Juan Browne has some good stuff on his YouTube channel including a video of a seat moving on its own.


Too Long Didn't Watch version is that there is a cover to protect the rocker switch on the seat back but if the rocker switch and cover are in poor condition the seat can move just from leaning or pressing on the cover.
